Astros Game Draws Sparse Crowd

May 6, 1986

KISSIMMEE — A sparse crowd turned out at Osceola Stadium Sunday to witness a hall-of- famer and the Osceola Astros in action.

Only 297 fans saw a pre-game pitching exhibition with Bob Feller, former pitcher for the Cleveland Inidans, and the Astros' game against the West Palm Beach Expos, said Don Miers, the Astros' general manager. Miers said he had expected as many as 600 spectators.

Miers said the club lost money, but chose not to disclose how much.

The Astros lost the game 3 to 6. The team is now second place in the Central Division with a 12-12 record.
